Oh...well what about things like prog? Would I have to take that later on?

if you want breasts? plenty of fully trans women dont even take prog, it's certainly not mandatory. a t-blocker (or at least a dht blocker, for hair) could be good, though.

Not op but how do you even start hrt? I’m kinda the same boat as them.
as for how to get it...tell a doctor you're nonbinary and get prescribed hrt (if you have a chill doctor). else pretend to be binary trans or order it online like most of us. i personally didn't even end up going for any special regimen since i was kinda ambivalent about boobs anyway.

most people on diy skip blood tests and they're fine. diy is usually an intramuscular injection or sometimes a gel spread on the skin, both of which are very reliable.
now, blood tests have two purposes: dosage and safety.
on the safety end: if you're on oral estrogen and/or spiro/bica/cypro AND liver problems occur in your family, you should definitely play it safe and avoid combining them with alcohol or other liver-taxing substances. if, however, if you yourself have liver problems - forget about those forms of hrt entirely and stick to things that bypass the liver (gels/patches/injections).
as for dosages... without blood tests, it's harder to establish the right blood estradiol levels. this is mostly a danger of "too little" - pills, for example, don't work quite as well for some people as for others. gel can have a similar issue. injections, though, tend to be more predictable.

addendum: i would at least order a single blood test after ~3months of hrt just to check in, if you can spare the one-time cost.

Okay I don’t have liver problems so for safety I’m okay. So generally, I’m assuming I’d need estrogen shots and a testorone suppressor? And my main problem would be dosage right?

yeah pretty much. dosage *can* be a problem but mostly due to all the different forms of estradiol. it does kinda depend though what your goals are and, more specifically, how you feel about breasts?

I’m not sure about breasts, but i think it takes a few months for them to show up right?

yeah. i started growing a's about two months in and never went beyond that but it can vary - if ending up at c cups half a year in is something you would mind, it could be worth looking into serms. i had it kinda easy because i was fine with any outcome in that regard - and oppositely a binary trans girl might be unhappy with a cups and try prog or whatever.

What the hell would that make me?
Well I think I'm ok with being a boy...if that's what u mean
Don’t listen to the tranny groomer. Injecting yourself with hormones is a VERY bad idea. Unlike you, troops have to do it because they have a high chance of offing themselves if they won’t.

patches or gels are much more comfy than injections
yes, i know a pooner who's skinny and 4'11 w, aa cups and pre-hrt and i seethe so hard every time im around him cuz i'd feel so fucking cute in his body and would exclusively buy childrens clothes which would be cute and innocent cuz i'd be afab. but instead i have a grotesque male body and a body like that went for someone who psychologically cannot possibly appreciate it
I've been wearing some of my middle school clothes, it sucks being tiny and "basically a woman" (wow, thanks, would wish to just be one instead of imitation meat) and people still remember me as a guy and don't wanna top me.
this board all idealizes children or wants to sleep with them.
It's called being a fag
you could

you can be a boy and take estrogen
What the hell would that make me?
a very pretty boy. it's literally the same thing as a butch taking testosterone for a deeper voice while still being a woman.
